Mark Wood retired as a two-time World Cup winner and an Ashes winner When Mark Wood retired on Tuesday, he brought to an end one of the most entertaining England careers in recent years.
马克·伍德以两届世界杯冠军和灰烬杯冠军得主的身份退役 当马克·伍德于周二退役时,他结束了近年来最有趣的英格兰职业生涯之一。
The fastest England bowler on record by most metrics, he produced a number of thrilling spells in a career too often hit by injuries.
从大多数指标来看,他是有记录以来速度最快的英格兰投球手,但在经常受到伤病困扰的职业生涯中,他创造了许多令人兴奋的时刻。
Here are four of those spells in his own words...
这是他自己的话中的四个咒语......
Wood averaged 27.11 across 26 Tests after lengthening his run-up Despite bowling quickly on occasions, Wood averaged 41.73 with the ball across his first 12 Tests.
伍德在延长助跑时间后,在 26 场测试中平均得到 27.11 分 尽管有时投球速度很快,伍德在前 12 次测试中的平均持球得分为 41.73。
Then, on the advice of West Indies legend Michael Holding, he lengthened his run-up and using it for the first time, took 5-41 in the first innings of the third Test against West Indies in Saint Lucia in 2019.
然后,在西印度群岛传奇人物迈克尔·霍尔丁的建议下,他延长了助跑距离并首次使用它,在2019年圣卢西亚对阵西印度群岛的第三次测试赛的第一局中以5比41拿下。
"That was the fastest. I could be biased because I thought it was a breakthrough moment in my career but when I was watching the ball carry off the nicks, they felt a long way in the slips.
“那是最快的了。 我可能有偏见,因为我认为这是我职业生涯中的一个突破时刻,但当我看着球带走尼克斯时,他们感觉距离失误还有很长的路要走。
"You feel weightless, like you're never tired and are just picking up speed. It feels like you have all of this momentum and loose energy to release.
“你会感觉失重,就好像你从不疲倦,只是在加快速度。 感觉就像你有所有的动力和松散的能量可以释放。
You feel a surge through your body and then a whip out of your fingers. "That day I didn't have to try. Root could have put the field anywhere and I wouldn't have cared.
你感觉到身体里涌动着一股力量,然后从你的手指上抽出一根鞭子。 “那天我不必尝试。 鲁特可以把这个领域放在任何地方,而我不会在意。
I was so up in my action. I can remember my feet landing and the feeling of the balls on my fingers - the seam ripping up my fingers. "I essentially had two different careers – the first one in and out of the team with good moments but struggling with ankle injuries and form. I felt I had to constantly push myself with that stop-start run-up to get the most out of myself.
我的行动非常积极。 我记得我的脚落地以及球落在我手指上的感觉——接缝撕裂了我的手指。 “我本质上有两个不同的职业生涯——第一个是在球队内外都有美好时光,但一直在与脚踝伤势和状态作斗争。 我觉得我必须不断地通过走走停停的助跑来推动自己,才能充分发挥自己的作用。
"As soon as I went off my longer run I had much more momentum, flow and freedom and the ability to bowl consistently quicker for longer. "When I lengthened my run-up, if it was below 90mph I was annoyed."
“一旦我开始长跑,我就会有更多的动力、流动性和自由度,并且能够持续更快地投球更长时间。 “当我延长助跑时,如果速度低于 90 英里/小时,我会很生气。”

I was honestly so scared but something clicked in me that I would bowl fast. "I got Rassie van der Dussen for 98 caught from round the wicket.
老实说,我很害怕,但我心里突然有一种感觉,我会快速打球。 “我从三柱门周围抓住了 Rassie van der Dussen 的 98 分。
We double-bluffed him. That was a great wicket because he was giving us a bit of verbals back.
我们双重诈唬了他。 这是一个很棒的三柱门,因为他给了我们一些言语回应。
"Faf du Plessis wasn't happy with something and Van der Dussen got involved. "The way he commands a presence at the crease winds people up and he has a little bit of verbals here and there. "A few of the lads were desperate for me to stick one up him.

We always want respect from our people but to have it from the Australians was nice."
